Eastern Wayne, Hunt win ECC track crowns

WILSON -- The depth that the Eastern Wayne girl's team displayed during regular-season meets proved crucial during the 2007 Class 3-A Eastern Carolina Conference track and field championships Tuesday afternoon.

The Warriors had two competitors place among the top six in 15 of 18 contested events and accumulated 166 points. They also dominated the relay portion of the six-team meet, which was contested on the Hunt High track.

Beddingfield's Latoya Farmer was named most outstanding performer during the meet.

On the boy's side, Hunt tallied points in all but three events and claimed its first-ever track title in the program's 29-year history. The host Warriors out-pointed Eastern Wayne 159-123, while Kinston posted a third-place score of 97.
